With the pending snow/ice storm headed our way for this weekend, I recorded a Podcast on “Cornerstonefrederick” on YouTube or “Cornerstone Fellowship” on Rumble. The topic is a Pastor’s perspective on the new revelations from Mike Winger concerning the moral failures concerning the NAR. The leaders of the movement new of the moral failures and never did anything sufficient enough to protect the “flock”.
It’s hard to forgive when you’ve been hurt deeply. Granting forgiveness is not excusing what happened. Forgiveness is about freeing your heart from carrying the weight any longer. It’s about being free to hear His voice and focusing on the task at hand. Finally it’s about closing ranks and not giving the enemy of our souls free reign to destroy our unity and keeping us in bondage. Here is the power of oneness; Matthew 18:19-20
Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
Joel 2:18-19 Then the Lord became jealous for his land and had pity on his people. The Lord answered and said to his people,“Behold, I am sending to you grain, wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations
Isaiah 43 is a significant chapter in the Old Testament, focusing on themes of God's redemption, protection, and the promise of new things for His people. It offers comfort through divine assurances, challenges idolatry, and while rebuking Israel’s unfaithfulness, promises free forgiveness.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
May this promise be comfort to those of you you may be facing first Christmases away from loved ones who have gone on to be with him. Know that he will never leave you or forsake you and that he has given you Holy Spirit whose name is “Comforter” to be with you.
In Leviticus 1:2 the word qarab is used for BRINGING a sacrifice to the Lord for the PURPOSE of drawing near for Gods DIVINE intervention!
Drawing near or ‘coming together’ is more than simply a gathering of Believers….IT has BECOME A COMMAND from the Lord to take our current situation as Believers, seriously and deal with compromise, the flesh and casual obedience within our own lives and the lives of others and present ourselves as living a SACRIFICE to the Lord!!!
The Lord showed me : This prophetic word is not about what you did, but about who you became in that season. You didn’t allow bitterness to stain you. You didn’t let offense shrink you. You didn’t allow the atmosphere around you to contaminate the atmosphere within you. You showed character in a room that never recognized your character. You honored God in a place that did not honor you.
The Lord is not simply a giver of things that we need, He is the source and sustainer of life and everything in our lives. He has an ultimate purpose for everything. Every situation unlocks another mystery of His heart toward us who follow Him. Instead of just focusing on all the good things He does for us on just one day during the calendar year, let’s make every day of the year a day of “gratitude” for not just what He does for us but more importantly, worshipping Him for who He is, The Master and Creator of all that exists and the lover of our souls.
From a spiritual perspective, we realize God has a purpose for everything that He allows to come into our lives. He is disciplining us according to Hebrews 12 to be conformed into the image of His Son, “Every son He receives, He disciplines”. James the half-brother of Jesus said it this way in his letter to believers scattered throughout Asis because of persecution, James 1:2-8 (ESV)
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
Tomorrow is a new day, and all in it is clean and refreshed. You can leave behind the past and move forward into a new future. It is easy if you believe. All things are possible to those who do. I will surely be beside you every step as I lead you into a future that is bright and holy. This is the time of the great awakening of My children to what I have told them all along. They will see that I am who I say I am and do what I said I’d do. Everything will change, and their walk will be that of truly secure children leaning on their Father. Amen.
I know I have said this before, but I am telling you now, it will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. I have built within you a core of strength that will not be moved, but you must rein in your mind as you see things you have never seen. It will not be your lack of faith in Me, but your senses will be heightened by all that will be coming at you in this world at once. Trust Me with all your heart that I have good for you and have not had you here on Earth to destroy you. You are My ambassadors of hope to a world in need of hope amidst the turmoil.
God is not limited by time; He created it. He sees your past, your present, and your future all at once. Nothing surprises Him, and nothing happens without His knowledge. We worry about tomorrow, but He already stands there waiting for us. He is Almighty, All-knowing, and Ever-present.
And here’s the miracle - even though He is infinite, His presence can be experienced in time, right now, right here, in your heart.
God seems to have used the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk to spark a global turning to the Lord. Is there a scriptural precedent for this. Yes, you will find it in Jesus’ response to the Greeks who came to see Jesus just before He was crucified. John 12:24
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit”.
It's time to get out of the stadium seats, or off the bench and back into the game because we are entering the greatest and most challenging days of the church. Lawlessness in crime are trying to destroy that what the Spirit of God is trying to release in our nation. We learned from Matthew 13:41, the Lord is going to release the angelic host to remove both lawlessness and wickedness out of the world before the final great harvest.
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers,
The term follow is “ἀκολουθέω” (akoloutheó)in the Greek. It is comprised of the word “koloutheó” which means road and the prefix “a” which means unity or oneness. To follow Jesus means to be at one with Him as you walk down the road of life. Wealth or religious pride will not one to be part of the Kingdom in either this life or the next.
Moving heaven and earth is what I do for those I love. Remember the Red Sea. Remember the loaves and fishes. Remember Joshua’s battle where the sun stood still. I tell you that these wonders will be nothing in comparison to what you will see and experience in the days to come. I have all My children accounted for, and this includes even the ones who do not know they belong to Me. Remember, the Harvest is coming in, and you, My reapers, will be instrumental in filling the Heavenly Kingdom.
Such was the man, Charlie Kirk. Regardless of your political persuasion, Charlie was a man that garnered much respect on both sides of the aisle. He never demonized his opposition but through wisdom and eloquence, presented truth through logic and common sense to 1000’s of college students that could not be denied. He was not an educated man as he dropped out of college. Charlie was well read and wise beyond his years that I believe God was using to bring awakening to Gen-Z with plain truth. In other words, he brought peace through discussion, much the way His own confessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ did.
The wheat and the tares will be gathered in at the end of the age, the tares to judgment of fire and the wheat brought in the storehouse for the harvest. Before that, the angelic host remove from the world although wicked and those that caused lawlessness. Is it possible that we are witnessing that great preparation happening presently through President Donald J Trump resulting from the prayers of thousands of intercessors all over the world who have been praying that God's Kingdom would come on earth as it is in heaven? Apostle Jackie Mare from South Africa just shared with me how this remnant will walk with angels as Enoch did.
The term “in Christ” is written over 200 times in the New Testament. Thus the impact of surrendering to Jesus is the fact that Jesus is not just another god or idol that we worship in an outside manner. When we surrender to Him, we are placed “in Christ” and He takes residence in us by His Spirit thus completing the purpose from the beginning for which we were created, union with Him.
